Your questions about garage roof removal in Burntcommon
Do you cover small places like Burntcommon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Burntcommon homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you cover Burntcommon?
Yes, Burntcommon is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Why people call us in Burntcommon
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garage blocks
If you let a house with a garage near Clandon station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Burntcommon were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
